The rolling green meadows of Kentucky have long been admired for their fabled horse farms.

Griffin Gate Golf Club is set on the 250-acre Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa that embodies the tradition of gracious Southern hospitality.
Griffin Gate Golf Club is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, which enable golf facilities to protect the environment by enhancing precious natural areas and wildlife habitats.
